Le projet consiste en la collecte et l’analyse de données suivi du prélèvement des échantillons dans l’usine de traitement de minerai existante ciblée (Detour Lake) afin d’estimer les flux de MCS qui transitent à travers celle-ci sans être valorisés. Les résultats du projet permettront à moyen terme d’offrir un moyen de co-valorisation de ces métaux […]

The ultimate goal of this project is to detect and localize leaks in pipelines in real time. Hifi Engineering has developed distributed fiber optic sensors. Measurements are obtained at evenly spaced intervals along the pipeline (called channels). This project aims to develop data processing tools to improve leak detection and localization. Many events occur along […]

This research seeks to improve gas turbine engine components, focusing on dynamic seals that withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, pressures, and abrasive particles, to enhance aircraft performance and durability. Current carbon-based materials used in seals like segmented seals—designed to prevent oil leakage—are vulnerable to degradation, which can lead to engine damage and costly […]

Hydrogen (H2) offers a strategic opportunity for Canada’s energy transition and more broadly is viewed as an essential part of the global solution to reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. Industry, governments and research agencies at regional and national scales are looking at the feasibility of H2 hubs that incorporate local logistics for H2 […]

The ultimate objective of this project is to design and develop a signal/noise analyzer to improve the reliability and efficiency of EM-based measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tool within various strata formation under high temperature, deep drilling environment. In order to analyze the received signal contaminated by surface and underground noise, it is essential to understand the electrical […]

Initial studies on the Kisameet Bay Clay Deposit by Dr. Ernest Hauser of MIT in the early 1950’s showed the unique properties of this clay deposit. To build on this early research and make clear a distinction between Kisolite and other clay’s on the market, we have chosen to invest in modern research. As such, […]

The increasing demand for reliable wireless communication systems in underground mining environments has driven the need for innovative, low-cost, and resilient solutions. Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) present a promising approach to enhance signal propagation and ensure continuous, high-quality communication in these complex, obstructed settings. However, the successful deployment of RIS technology depends not only on […]

The objective of this project is to create and improve metal-infused filaments for low-cost 3D printers by including recyclable elements. We combine recyclable and bio-based polymers with eco-friendly metal particles, including carbonyl nickel, to provide a durable and sustainable 3D printing material. During the first phase, we produce and test these metal/polymer filaments to ensure […]

Le projet propose une approche innovante d’instrumentation et de suivi des performances des ventilateurs industriels dédié à un banc de test selon la norme AMCA (Air Movement and Control Association). Dans le cadre du programme Lab2Market, cette initiative intègre des systèmes avancés de mesure et d’acquisition de données, permettant une surveillance en temps réel de […]

Les géomembranes sont des barrières utilisées dans les sites miniers pour prévenir la contamination des sols et des eaux. Leur efficacité repose sur une installation sans défaut, mais des erreurs courantes (perforations, soudures défectueuses) compromettent souvent leur performance. Ce projet vise à identifier et prédire les facteurs influençant la qualité d’installation des géomembranes à l’aide […]

L’industrie minière canadienne joue un rôle clé dans l’économie nationale, représentant 5 % du PIB et employant directement plus de 400 000 personnes. Cependant, les arrêts non planifiés des broyeurs SAG Mill entraînent des pertes économiques considérables, atteignant plusieurs milliers de dollars par heure. Ce projet vise à répondre à ce défi en développant une […]
